Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 183
Meng Zhehan said: "Don't worry, my second uncle will definitely leave tomorrow morning. He has to hold meetings and review documents every day, so he has no time to waste here."

"Oh, what are you worried about? You know me. Don't overdo it. Taohua has experienced enough suffering. She has begun to learn to be strong, but she is still weak at heart. Those old events have hit her hard. Big, she doesn't want to face it, so please don't mention it again! And tell your second uncle, stop it."

Meng Zhehan paused, and replied: "I understand what you mean, and I also know what I'm doing. One thing, I will never let Taohua get hurt."

"Remember your words, hang up...wait!"

Only then did Shen Yu remember to ask: "Where are you calling now?"

"In Yanchong Commune."

"Is the post office closed?"

"You can't control this."

Meng Zhehan suddenly chuckled: "I won't tell you anymore, I'm going home and have a candlelight dinner with my Peach Blossom Sister—oh, it's a kerosene lamp dinner, it's also very romantic! I can chat with Peach Blossom Sister, we The two have a common topic, cooking tea around the stove after dinner, wafting the fragrance of tea, talking heart-to-heart in the silence of the night... Ah, evening conversations in the mountain village, what a beautiful thing!"

"Meng Zhehan!"

Shen Yu gritted his teeth, such a beautiful and pleasant scene appeared in his mind, scratching his heart: the hero should be himself!

You shouldn't be careless and let this guy go to Linshui Village in advance.

When Meng Tao saw Zhang Guoqing and Meng Zhehan walking into the courtyard gate in the twilight, he couldn't help being a little surprised: Today is only the ninth day of the lunar new year, and Meng Zhehan actually arrived first.

Meng Zhehan touched the top of Meng Tao's head: "my sister is getting engaged, how can my brother be absent? I must come back early. I just asked my mother on the National Day, and we will get up early tomorrow and go to the county for the things we need for the engagement. Set it up."

Meng Tao said with a smile: "I have them at home, and they are all prepared well. You don't need to buy any more. If there are too many, it will be a waste."

"What are there? Let me see, I would rather be redundant than lacking, and I'm not afraid of wasting at this time."

"You've come back from such a long journey. It's been hard work. Let's take a rest and watch it tomorrow. I'll wash your face with hot water. The meal is ready, let's eat."

"Okay, my sister is so obedient, so kind! I can't bear to let that fellow, Shen Yu, be cheap."

While the two were talking, Taurus turned the wheelchair and came to the door of the room. Seeing Meng Zhehan, he shouted happily: "Brother is back! Oh, what I said, I was listening to the radio, how could I hear the voice of Big Brother!"

Several people were amused by his words.

Fish for dinner, boiled fish made by Meng Tao, a large black-backed fish, weighing seven or eight catties, with all the seasonings prepared, and a basket of tender cabbage leaves washed, Zhou Cuiling and Wang Tiegen were originally called to come over for dinner Yes, Meng Zhehan and Zhang Guoqing happened to come, just right.

The fish was "bought" by Meng Tao from the commune during the day. When she passed by the grocery store, she read on the blackboard at the door that there were fish and Chinese cabbage for today's supply, so she made these two. It seemed a bit monotonous, but they were all top quality. The amount is sufficient, and the dipping ingredients are too well prepared. Six people, including Xiao Wangcai, ate and ate, and they ate up a big fish, a basket full of cabbage, and a pot of rice!

Sitting chatting and laughing after dinner, Meng Tao ran to the kitchen to watch the fire from time to time, prepared hot water for Meng Zhehan and asked him to take a bath, and when Meng Zhehan came back from the bath, there was indeed a casserole on the small stove to boil Xiaoshi tea, the tea was fragrant, and the room was full of warmth .

Meng Zhehan drank warm and fragrant Xiaoshi tea, talked with Meng Tao and Jinniu brothers and sisters, occasionally teased Xiao Wangcai, it was leisurely and comfortable, it was a pity that he forgot to bring his camera, otherwise he would take a few photos for Shen Yu to see, and You can annoy him.

That kid didn't know where he had accumulated virtue in his life, and he robbed such a good sister of himself, it's really embarrassing!
The next day, Meng Zhehan and Zhang Guoqing drove to the county town, and Meng Tao and Zhou Cuiling followed. Meng Zhehan really followed Zhang Guoqing's mother's instructions and bought everything.

He has a special ticket, and he is young, elegant and handsome. Whether he enters a department store or a supply and marketing cooperative, he is warmly received by the salesperson. As soon as he asks what he wants to buy, they immediately take the initiative to carefully select and pack it for him. Nothing happened to Meng Tao and Zhou Cuiling.

I bought a bunch of all kinds of fabrics, colorful quilt covers, bed sheets, headscarves, shoes and socks, and I couldn’t wait to buy a whole box of sugar cakes, melon seeds and peanuts.

Meng Tao couldn't stop him, so he didn't bother to care about him. If he has money, spend it.

Zhou Cuiling said: "Mr. Meng, you bought so much for a dowry? This is an engagement, and it's not time to get married yet."

Meng Zhehan: "I have consulted your mother-in-law. It is a custom in our countryside that when the man comes to give the dowry gift when we are engaged, we have to return some of it. It makes sense. For example, the woman must prepare a set of clothes for the man. Sets, give some to future in-laws, uncles and sisters-in-law, regardless of shoes, socks, headscarves, bed sheets, and quilt covers, as long as you have it, it is your heart."

"The man wants to give a set of clothes. The parents-in-law and sister-in-law and sister-in-law don't need it now. They will give it after they get married."

"No, I have to give it too. Our family is not short of money. We have this condition! Don't let the man's family look down upon you. Since you come to our village to hold an engagement wine, you have to do as the Romans do. Follow our rules. Gifts from our villages, It is also full, decent and generous!"

Zhou Cuiling: "..."

Meng Tao was also speechless, it seemed a little unusual for this city native to love rural wedding customs so much.

Back to the village from the county seat, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Yu, Grandpa Xu, Liu Yongsheng and his party hadn't arrived yet, but Meng Changshou came, sitting at the Eight Immortals table in the main room, smoking dry tobacco, like an old ancestor.

Meng Tao originally guessed that Meng Changshou would not come, and even if he did, he might stubbornly bring his sons or grandsons with him, and there would be a conflict at that time.

But this time Meng Changshou only took Meng Jinshan with him, which surprised Meng Tao.

After hearing Meng Jinshan's words, she realized that it wasn't Meng Changshou who had become enlightened, and that the dozen or so members of the old Meng's family had quarreled and made a fuss over coming to eat the engagement wine.

Whether Meng Changshou's four sons and daughter-in-law want to come, they are vying to come with the old man. Even Geng Liuju wants to get engaged through Meng Tao, and wants to make a big fuss again , to stand up to her grandma's prestige, but they were all stopped by Meng Changshou's scolding.

Although Meng Changshou was dissatisfied with Meng Taohua a lot, he had his rules and regulations, and he had to live a long time to save face. The granddaughter in the next room could ask her to do her due filial piety, but she couldn't take advantage of her. Dian Meng Changshou is absolutely followed, otherwise he would not say that Taurus should build another courtyard by himself, and the courtyard left by Meng Shengli is for Peach Blossom, then it must be Peach Blossom.

Peach Blossom was engaged, and sent a message to invite him, the great grandfather, to the banquet. According to Meng Changshou's idea, he didn't care whether Tao Zhang invited other people. The share money, no matter what, is also Taohua's natal relatives, and if you contribute some money, it is to save Taohua's face.

But Geng Liuju resolutely disagreed, thinking that their family came here to support Taohua, and they still need to give money?Why don't you go to heaven!

So after arguing and arguing, in the end, Meng Changshou didn't bring any of them.

Meng Jinshan begged his parents to give him a dollar to seal the package so that he could come with Meng Changshou.
